how to set IP on bootable trueimage 2013
I am trying to use ftp to backup/restore but I see no way to set IP of the instance.
Could you please explain how the IP is set for the machine that is booting Acronis TI 2013??
thank you

Yeah thanks I read that. However I don't see anything network settings related under options. Does this mean just there is no support for the network adapter?

Marti, ATIH 2013 is quite an old product now and may not know about some of the more modern network adapters that you may have.
See KB document: 45331: Acronis Bootable Media: Troubleshooting NIC Detection which may offer some suggestions for checking whether your media will support your NIC.
See also KB document: 46015: Acronis Bootable Media: Troubleshooting Network Browsing Issues
These documents are aimed at later versions of the product but should still offer some ideas / help.

If using an older Acronis product on a newer hardware, chances are the default Linux media may not have the drivers necessary for it. In many cases, using a generic USB 3.0 to GB ethernet adapter can solve that issue as the drivers are very generic and have been picked up by most versions of teh Linux rescue media that Acronis provides.
Other than that, the option is to build WinPE rescue media. The downside is that 1) you have to build it to a flash drive so you can modify it. Then you need to ineject the drivers manually. It's not difficult, but if you have not done this before can seem like work. Grab DISMGUI (linked below) and it will allow you to open up your boot.wim in your usb flash drive and inject your drivers (that you must provide).
2) WinPE does not have network support by default for remote shares (at least not SMB - I can't remember if FTP shows up or not). In those cases, you have to use "net use" to map the share as a network drive first and then you can access it. When you have your boot.wim open with DISMGUI, you can manually go to the mounted folder... Windows\system32\startnet.cmd and copy startnet.cmd to somewhere like yoru deskop. Then open it with notepad and paste in your nset use command there and save. Then copy that version into your moujnted drive and accept UAC so it can paste it in (you have to do it this way because of UAC and ownership of the mounted folders). Then, your drive will automatically be mounted for you when you launch your winpe rescue media.
